Chapter 11: Weak Point
“Lucas!-
Emily barged into the study,
“Lucas have you gone out of your mind-
“what's all this noise for” Lucas asked,
“Lucas what did you do to her?!, you can't force her to be your spouse!”
Lucas stood up and stared at her,
“where the fuck is my beer,” He asked,
“where the fuck is your-, Lucas what's all these for? That family has suffered enough in your hands-
“they're the ones always coming to me for help,” He said feeling less concerned,
“Lucas this is not you, this is not the brother I grew up with”
She left the study slamming the door behind her, she hurried to Grace's room, she was there laying straight just as Emily instructed, she came back with a balm and warm water,
“I am so sorry dear”
Emily said and applied the balm on her waist and started massaging it slowly and stopping each minute to dab it with the warm water,
“it just needs this, you will be fine”
Emily said she noticed that Grace was not talking she was just staring at nothing,
“Please don't do anything stupid”
Emily suddenly said, Grace said nothing to her, she finished and stood up,
“I will send food for you with painkillers, you eat, take the painkillers and get some rest” She added and left the room.
When Grace woke up, she felt much better, she picked up her phone to call Jason, but it wasn't reachable, she tried again after some minutes and he answered, he asked her to come to his house.
Grace prepared, but Lucas was not around so she left to meet Jason. When she got there she told Jason everything that had been going on every bit of it in detail,
“So what will you do?”
“I don't know Jay, I am so confused”
“well whatever you want to do you have to do it smartly, that man can eliminate you”
“eliminate, no he can't, he wants me to be his spouse so he won't do that”
“So what's your plan?”
“I have lots of things in my head, but I don't want to rush any of this, I want to calm down and observe-
“I trust you with observations-
“I want to find out his weak point, that's where I'm going to start-
Jason chuckled,
“A man like that doesn't have a weak point-
“Mtch Jay, you have never seen this man come to that conclusion, by the way, everybody has a weak point-
“what's yours?- Grace smiled,
“Jay I am being serious here, who gives a fuck about my weak point, I am going through hell-
“I do, I want to know your weak point, what weakens you?-
He asked holding her hands and coming closer to her, he kissed her deeply,
“am I your weak point-
He whispered, kissing her on the neck and rubbing her head fondly, Grace smiled,
“jay-
She said weakly, Jason was already undressing her, she wanted to stop him but she needed this,
She allowed him to go down on her and moaned without control.
After an hour of having a good time with Jason,
“let me get a beer”
He murmured and went inside the kitchen while Grace started dressing up, Jason's phone continued alerting him of his messages, Grace looked around for the phone to help him check but couldn't find it but she was certain the phone was somewhere around she stood up to look around for it,
“what are you doing?” He entered,
“oh your phone is somewhere here, I think you have lots of messages it won't stop making that sound-
“don't worry I will get it, please help me get my beer from the kitchen I forgot it-
“you need to learn to focus Jay”
She said and entered the kitchen, Jason picked up his phone from a corner where he kept it, he looked at it and sighed.
***
Grace headed back to Lucas's house, she entered the sitting room and met Lucas with the man from the office the other day and another man, Emily was sitting at the bar,
“Goods evening”
Grace said and made to enter her room,
“Grace-
She turned, Lucas smiled,
“Meet my family, this is Micheal my love-ly twin brother and this is his father Victor-
“his father?”
“yes please- Lucas said still smiling,
“y'all please meet my soon to be-
“Secretary, I am Grace his secretary, it's a pleasure to meet y'all-
Grace said and shook their hands, she turned and went upstairs to her room.
“I don't understand you Lucas you finally decide to settle down and what, you bring a girl that's not interested?” Mr Victor said,
“And how is that an issue-
“is that not, Emily back me up please, Mr. Ethan's daughter?-
Emily threw her face away, Micheal sighed, Lucas turned and stared at Emily,
“I was waiting to hear you speak, you know what we do to loudmouths right?” He asked and laughed,
“Lucas this is a family business you don't get to run it and control everybody-
“says who? I Lucas am the only one capable of doing this work and you know-
“you are meant to be in partnership with your brother-
“your son doesn't want that, by the way, I and my sister partner very well, we are not complaining”
Lucas said sitting down and crossing his legs,
“so what Lucas, you feel big now, like a king-
“oh I am king, Victor, and I hate unannounced visits-
He said reminding them, a message came in and he opened his phone, he smiled widely,
“This is just the beginning for the stubborn fly”
“I will see to your end Lucas- Micheal threatened,
“you can only see to my end if you make it past this night”
Lucas threatened back, looking at him eyeball to eyeball,
“no need to fight Micheal, c'mon let's get out of this place” Mr. Victor said and dragged Micheal,
“I will make you regret, I will make you watch everything you built crash!-
“Enough Michael!”
Victor said and dragged him outside, they got into their car and drove off. Emily stood up and went to her room without saying a word to Lucas.
All these while, Grace has been eavesdropping, she turned and tiptoed back to her room.
